I didn’t realize Hawk fans are actually still mad about that fumble call. I don’t think it was very controversial.

Iowa would have punted from the back of their endzone and Michigan gets the ball on the 45

It was a fumble. The whistle being blown kept it from being a TD return by the Michigan player who recovered it. Like it matters. Maybe the score would've been 22-0 instead of 26-0? The game was over when Michigan went up 10-0.

It was a really ****** call but the end result is probably a 22-0 game instead of 26-0. That game was over after the punt return.

Yah, it didn't effect the outcome but I do have to say it was one of the most atrocious calls I've ever seen. I mean, hell, even the guy who recovered it just picked it up and handed it to the ref. Clearly everyone had stopped playing.

yeah this is basically where I'm at on the call. The fumble/incomplete part of the call is whatever, sometimes you end up on the wrong side of those. The error was there wasn't a clear recovery, last I knew a referees whistle blew the play dead.

Then to try and sell to Kirk that 'his arm was moving forward but his hand wasn't' is about the most chickenshit officiating I've ever heard. Own that you blew it and move on.

We've got an officiating crisis and legal betting is making it worse. It's going to get real ugly across all sports.
